RME JICO Posted September 16, 2007 Share Posted September 16, 2007 Congrats to Big Jim! Bottom of the 9th, in walk off fashion. Can't get much better than that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whitesoxfan101 Posted September 16, 2007 Share Posted September 16, 2007 The most dramatic 500th home run ever, by far. WALK OFF ARE YOU KIDDING ME. What a great way for a great guy to get such a milestone, congrats to Jim!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buehrle>Wood Posted September 16, 2007 Share Posted September 16, 2007 (edited) Fan who caught it being interviewed now. He's an Oriole fan from Austin who just flew in today for an accounting conference). The package given to him for return of the ball was 2 season tickets for 2008(Which he, in turn, donated to Jim's charity), and box seats to a Cubs/Sox game next year.

SouthSidePride05 Posted September 16, 2007 Author Share Posted September 16, 2007 Great way to hit #500... Although it would've been nice if hadn't been on a Bears-game day when only 29K were in attendance. Last night 36,000 were there, and the atmosphere was more electric. And a White Sox fan didn't even catch the ball; it was a freakin Orioles fan. With that said.. Congrats Thome! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheBigHurt Posted September 17, 2007 Share Posted September 17, 2007 Even with all the bad stuff going on this year with this team, this makes me very happy. Couldn't have happened to a better guy. Congrats, Jim! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harry Chappas Posted September 17, 2007 Share Posted September 17, 2007 The MLB clip is awesome Hawk, walk-off before he would have had to do it on the raod. Wife Dad Jenks (how many closer's would've done that) and Dye carrying him off the field. Awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NorthSideSox72 Posted September 17, 2007 Share Posted September 17, 2007 Congrats to big Jim! Awesome way to do it. I so wish I could have been watching. I'll have to go see the videos on MLB. And pretty classy of that Baltimore fan, donating the season tickets instead of selling them later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greg775 Posted September 17, 2007 Share Posted September 17, 2007 Congrats Thome. The walk-off homer for No 500 is proof nice guys do not have to finish last. Amazing. I read he's the only player whose 500th actually won a game. Hopefully he'll be one of the veterans to spark the team to a remarkable turnaround in the standings next season. Hope he gets some good pub in USA Today tomorrow. Oh wait ... the Yankees and Bosox are playing ... again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoxAce Posted September 17, 2007 Share Posted September 17, 2007 Congrats Thome!! I'm glad I witnessed his 500th (and Hester's return ) before I went to work today. I must admit, I nearly teared up for a second there. Congrats Big Jim. I'm glad I saw it live and I'm glad I am a part of this thread.

southsider2k5 Posted September 17, 2007 Share Posted September 17, 2007 Wow. How awesome for one of the greatest guys in all of professional sports to get his own "Natural" moment. That was one of the most incredible moments I have seen in pro-sports, and most of it had to do with who hit it. It was so cool to see every single one of his teammates wait around and give the guy a big bear hug and everything, instead of just the usual high-five and pat on the back. You couldn't have scripted a better Hollywood ending for Jim Thome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
